Veterans Helath Care: Truly caring for our veterans

First, let's help military families feel they are part of our communities, not a group apart.

Civilians have a fundamental role to play in the tragedy of military
suicides. We have to move from honoring troops in the abstract to
offering real care and opportunity to individuals. For decades,
America's troops have exemplified the meaning of courage worldwide. Now
they define America's conscience.

The rest of us should feel we have done all we can to secure their
emotional health. If we haven't, we simply need to work harder. They
fought to keep us safe. Now let's fight for them.
